The Danger of Proverbs - S J Wiedemann - Bog

Sir George is an eccentric and unstable character. His main motivation is success and it doesn't matter to him which form it takes. Winning game shows, becoming a heavy metal musician or becoming prime minister. Anything goes. Against all odds, he ends up leading the country, due to a bizarre and horrifying turn of events. The main thing standing in his way now is not so much his lack of ability, but his obnoxious and immature personality. Eventually his shortcomings catch up with him and he loses his position of power. What follows is a weird breakdown and obsession with chess. It is his belief that he would become a worldwide superstar, if he could figure out how to lose a game in one move. To restore his sanity, he just needs to find a way of getting back his fame and admiration.
